It’s been 14 years since Ashley Peacock’s fiery wife Maxine was murdered by Richard Hillman on Coronation Street.

The hairdresser initially joined the Street in 1995, and was a resident until her death in January 2003.

While married to Ashley, she had an affair with doctor Matt Ramsden, and later gave birth to their son.

She was killed by Gail’s hubby Richard Hillman, who had planned to kill Emily Bishop.
